Anode Beetles are small black beetles with four yellow spots on their wing casings. They are named 'anode' due to the fact that they produce electrical currents if another one is nearby. This creature is blissfully unaware of your Pikmin, and if they approach the Beetles or the electrical current, they may be subject to electrocution, so the best way to beat them is either using Yellow Pikmin and/or Purple Pikmin and then swarming. Purple Pikmin, thanks to their homing ability and shock waves, can flip these from a distance as well, making them a better choice if you're in a hurry.

How to Kill

Unlike most enemies, Anode Beetles have a shell for defense, so they must be flipped first. Throwing a Purple works best, but Yellows minimize the risk. Once flipped, it can be swarmed and will die quickly. Ultra-bitter sprays will make it vulnerable to swarming even when not flipped over.
